As most of you know, using Nafees Web Naskh font for writing English text does not go well on Linux.
So I was thinking if somehow I could manage to combine both Nafees Web Naskh and Liberation Sans, reading and writing Urdu on LinuxPakistan forums will become easier.

A friend of mine has merged the fonts for me. The only problem now left is the name to choose for it. I want to choose a name which shows our respect to the authors of both fonts but does not violate any trademark stuff.

I have found out what was wrong. When I edit my preferences manually to show all pages in Urdu Azad Naskh, then the font is not rendered well. But when I made an HTML page with font specified, it was rendered very well. So it seems like it is ready to be used on LinuxPakistan.

I have found a better font while searching my Urdu fonts collection. It is named "Simplified Naskh". Tomorrow I shall try to find out the original download location from where I had downloaded it. If I could not find it, I shall upload it to some file-sharing service so that people who are interested can try it. I think it will work great if we used it here.

I just got another idea. If I remove all the English alphabets from Nafees Web Naskh, then most font rendering engines will automatically display the missing characters using the system's default font. In such case, we can use Nafees Web Naskh for Urdu but Sans-Serif (or whatever the system's default font is) for English.
